October 21: Pears, Part Two

I find myself
so fascinated by
the bowl of phallic pears.

October 20: Pears

Drinking Earl Grey
eating chocolate and pears
not at all lonely.

October 19: Tom's house

Visited a friend's lovely, sunlit, beautifully landscaped home full of books and art, met his cat named for a favorite poet, walked in the woods, left with a bag of pears from a tree in his backyard.
 
Golden afternoon--
Mary Oliver (the cat),
basket of pears.

October 18: Blueberry barrens

Over crimson fields:
migrating hawks, milkweed fluff
whirling with snowflakes.

October 17: Pleiades

Driving home tonight
toward the hazy Pleiades,
deer watching roadside.

October 16: Camden Amphitheatre

Rows of empty chairs
set up for an outside wedding.
Rain clouds passing.

October 15: Hamlet

Tonight we saw the National Theatre of London's intriguing performance of "Hamlet" streamed live, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Hamlet.
 
After the play ends,
a plea for refugee aid--
this work of being human.
